PROJECT INFO

Piloting energy-positive smart home technology

The Arbour is a pilot project by an innovative development and construction company, GS8. They are revolutionizing traditional construction practices by introducing smart homes that will be energy and carbon-positive within a remarkable 15-year timeframe.

Spinning the flawed smart home promise

Smart homes provide convenient features but maintaining them demands constant vigilance. Even a minor interconnectivity issue can disrupt the entire ecosystem.

GS8 wanted to ensure that future smart homes residents have a seamless sustainable experience. We needed technology to work in service of the residents—a helpful extension of living in a zero-waste community.

We proposed a cutting-edge mobile solution for tenants with personalized smart routines, streamlined monitoring, and complete control over their green consumption practices.

Motivation

Novelty wears off, so we aim to remind the residents to embrace sustainability consistently.

Community
